"Black Myth: Wukong" has been generating increasing criticism among Chinese players, particularly regarding its storyline. The game, which draws inspiration from 《Wukong Zhuan》 and some of Stephen Chow's movies, deviates significantly from the original Journey to the West and the traditional story of Sun Wukong. Journey to the West is rooted in the historical journey of Xuanzang, who traveled to India to obtain sacred Buddhist scriptures, with the mythological elements serving to emphasize the perseverance and resilience of the pilgrimage team in overcoming numerous challenges. However, the game introduces themes of conspiracy, rebellion, and tragic love, which are far removed from the essence of the original tale. This divergence from the traditional narrative has sparked dissatisfaction among many players in mainland China. Additionally, the films and animations referenced in the game's promotional videos bear little connection to the Journey to the West story, further alienating fans of the classic Chinese epic.

No lgbtq+++++ no feminist rights that kind of ssssssh. The Asian and midddle east don't buy those. U just keep western woken trash in your own back yard.
You sound like a person that wakes up in the morning, hating the west, eating his breakfast while hating the west, going to work doing his job, talking trash about the west with his co-workers, eating lunch while hating the west, going home, still hating the west, eating dinner while hating the west, going to sleep and dreaming about how bad the west is, every day. The type of person nobody wants to drink a bear with, except for other people like you, who also only think about how how bad the west is.
Journey To The West is a Chinese Buddhist classical novel. Buddhism has no issue with LGBT or women, cry. So there is no need to bring this up in situations where it doesn't matter.
South korea and America always keep exporting their culture and influence globally, perhaps it's time for China to bring something new to the table. BM Wukong is certainly a great step in that direction, the game is very nice to say the least 👍✨
The reason which slowing the spreading of China soft power is not due to lack of content and we all know that. Chinese movies have been consumed internationally for decades.
@@close_all_tabs haha none It’s only chinese buying probably This should be happy about success instead they will always talk about the west It’s always some deep inferiority complex It’s usually guys from that country that have this , I think it’s due to manhood size
if you clicked on this video thinking it might answer your questions about the intro of the game, congrats, you just got click baited. the real story of black myth wukong take place in after wukong escorted his master (the monk who went to india to get the scriptures). However, the deities were still salty about getting beat up by a monkey so they want to level his mountain. wukong thinks its unfair because he completed his assignment from the budda. so he fight all the gods as you seen in the intro. the monkey you play is the "destined one" who's suppose to retrieve all the relics and bring back wukong whos trapped in a stone

@@close_all_tabs Dragon Ball cannot be > Journey to the West, because Dragonball was inspired by Journey to the West, so Journey to the west will always be greater than Dragonball. Without Journey to the West then Dragonball wouldn't even have existed.
What story does Black Myth: Wukong tell? It tells that since ancient times, from heaven to earth, there has always been a global order that maintains the status quo, and there have always been heroes who want to change this order.
@@OHHHHUSBANT Just wait one or two years and they will make a mobile version of Black Myth Wukong. The game is not that big (in data) and could be easiely be downgraded to a more compact and slim mobile version. I bet the developers had that in mind from the beginning. They want to sell it to as many people as possible and there are way more Chinese with a mobile phone, than with a PS5, Xbox or an expensive gaming computer.
India can't even make a proper mobile game. They tried to ban chinese gaming apps and created a gaming app called "FAU-G" as replacement of PUBG. it floped and failed within few months😂
@@TigerTiger-fx3ps It's totally different story. I watched both movies and their characters are not even similar except for being monkey warriors. Wukong is rebellious, trouble maker, arrogant and won't follow the monk if not for the headband which hurt him whenever the monk reads mantra. Hanuman on the other hand is all about his loyalty to Rama. Why Journey to the west is so famous is because Wukong's character grow from being so hopeless to become **spoiler**. Ramayana is also very famous but Hanuman is all about the great general of Rama who helped him won his wife back. He has no potential to become an antagonist to begin with.
Sun wonkong is based on a "Journey to the west" a chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is regarded as one of the greatest Classic Chinese Novels, and has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia. Journey to the West has strong roots in Chinese folk religion, Chinese mythology, Chinese Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoist and Buddhist folklore, and the pantheon of Taoist immortals and Buddhist bodhisattvas are still reflective of certain Chinese religious attitudes today, while being the inspiration of many modern manhwa, manhua, manga and anime series. Enduringly popular, the novel is at once a comic adventure story, a humorous satire of Chinese bureaucracy, a source of spiritual insight, and an extended allegory. a literary and religious figure best known as one of the main players in the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West 西遊記 Don't fooking mix Chinese mythology to ur hindu myths which are 2 different things.

The events is set many years(dunno specifically) after journey to the west. Which means after he attained godhood.

No lgbtq+++++ no feminist rights that kind of ssssssh. The Asian and midddle east don't buy those. U just keep western woken trash in your own back yard.
still better than concord.
Fight the power !
I need this video. Thanka
lol even news channel covering this game
i love it, game is super fun and mostly based to the earth
Western countries belike: why are there no LGBTQ and feminism elements in this game???
You sound like a person that wakes up in the morning, hating the west, eating his breakfast while hating the west, going to work doing his job, talking trash about the west with his co-workers, eating lunch while hating the west, going home, still hating the west, eating dinner while hating the west, going to sleep and dreaming about how bad the west is, every day.
The type of person nobody wants to drink a bear with, except for other people like you, who also only think about how how bad the west is.
Journey To The West is a Chinese Buddhist classical novel. Buddhism has no issue with LGBT or women, cry. So there is no need to bring this up in situations where it doesn't matter.
South korea and America always keep exporting their culture and influence globally, perhaps it's time for China to bring something new to the table.
BM Wukong is certainly a great step in that direction, the game is very nice to say the least 👍✨
it's not new, there are many movies, animations or games with the monkey king, it's just that this is the first time they made it into a AAA game.
Such as dragon ball or any references to monkey usually refer to sun wukong
The reason which slowing the spreading of China soft power is not due to lack of content and we all know that. Chinese movies have been consumed internationally for decades.
@@kleec495 u mean hk movies?
@@lyhthegreat HK, mainland, TW movies basically have the same content. HK and TW have many movies about mythologies and dynasties of China.
Remember have fun but no politics when streaming
Monke>>>>>>
It means Western game dev are toast
China turning game industry into a monkey business
do we play as a weaked sun wukong?
Just wait for the next game, you will get a stronger Sun Wukong in a higher level game.
Pretty sure just another monke which is not wukong.
Dragon Ball Z was inspired by Journey to the West 🔥
So what?
It's something close to Ashura's Wrath, which borrows some elements from Journey to the West.
It's something similar to Fantasy Westward Journey.
Western game journos are crying so hard that this game sells so marvelously
Erm... Are they? Can you name one western game journalist who is complaining?
@@close_all_tabs haha none
It’s only chinese buying probably
This should be happy about success instead they will always talk about the west
It’s always some deep inferiority complex
It’s usually guys from that country that have this , I think it’s due to manhood size
❤ I grew up watching “ Journey to the West “ . I have watched many TV drams and movies of Sun WuKong through out the years.
I grew up watching Dragon Ball 😍

the gameplay is so bad just like Sekiro but Sekiro is years ago and Elden Ring is a better concept of fighting style in my opinion.
You are not allowed to critizise the game. If you do, you are woke, sinophobic and a 🤖
Greetings, beautiful game, I love it. The beauty and richness of Chinese history and mythology, fantastic
if you clicked on this video thinking it might answer your questions about the intro of the game, congrats, you just got click baited. the real story of black myth wukong take place in after wukong escorted his master (the monk who went to india to get the scriptures). However, the deities were still salty about getting beat up by a monkey so they want to level his mountain. wukong thinks its unfair because he completed his assignment from the budda. so he fight all the gods as you seen in the intro. the monkey you play is the "destined one" who's suppose to retrieve all the relics and bring back wukong whos trapped in a stone
If it takes place after the journey to the west, shouldn't the monkey king be trapped under a mountain then?
@@close_all_tabs thats before the journey

finally something new that China did
Your comment has to be sarcasm, because the story of "Journey to the West" / "The Monkey King" has been told like a thousand times by now.
You tried to create sterile polemics about the game, now that it's a huge success you are trying to milk it, two faces journalism
That’s journalism in every country.
@@treadlightly76 No. Normally one country's journalism sticks to one side. It's the other country's journalist's that are talking it down or praise it afterwards.

Sun Wukong = Son Goku
Yes, I am glad someone noticed. The Japanese liberally “borrowed” a lot from Journey to the West. Goku’s name, Goku’s stick, ox king, the fire mountain, banjo fan …
Sun Wukong > Son Goku
@@cfwin1776 If china was doing it, then you would say steal. But because japan did it, it is called borrowed 😂
@@body187j3x1 Dragon Ball > Journey to the West
@@close_all_tabs Dragon Ball cannot be > Journey to the West, because Dragonball was inspired by Journey to the West, so Journey to the west will always be greater than Dragonball. Without Journey to the West then Dragonball wouldn't even have existed.
This game has spyware.. BE CAREFUL
Yeah sure and you tube google, X, apple is not.
Yes...run....runnmmm.😅😂
It was Tang dynasty instead of Ming
Author lived in Ming dynasty
Yes, my bad, author Wu was in the Ming, Journey to the west was in Tang
What's the difference?
What story does Black Myth: Wukong tell?
It tells that since ancient times, from heaven to earth, there has always been a global order that maintains the status quo, and there have always been heroes who want to change this order.
Ahhhhhh, now I understand why there is such a hype about it.
That sounds like a threat to the CCP. Thanks, pal!

My Monkie Kid fans where u at
is that wu yi fan?
Yes.
much rather have a AAA game based on the condor trilogy
First week? It's been out for only 2 days. It broke records in its first day
Wukong symbolizes FREEDOM. Freedom.from.oppression. Freedom.from tyrrany. Freedom to determine one's destiny.
True.
Freedom from sanctions and regime change by #1 superpower and its minions and

@@OHHHHUSBANT yeay exactly mobile first then PC
@@OHHHHUSBANT Just wait one or two years and they will make a mobile version of Black Myth Wukong.
The game is not that big (in data) and could be easiely be downgraded to a more compact and slim mobile version.
I bet the developers had that in mind from the beginning. They want to sell it to as many people as possible and
there are way more Chinese with a mobile phone, than with a PS5, Xbox or an expensive gaming computer.
We indian will make Hanuman game soon,just wait and see
Please work hard, but a strong gaming industry can only be born when the per capita income exceeds $10,000

Its Hanumaan
If you learn Wukong's personality, not sure if you want to relate him with Hanuman. They have totally different personalities.
@@kleec495 actually, journey tot ejh west is a chnese iteration of the Indan Ramayan. the underlying stort is the exact same i.
@@TigerTiger-fx3ps It's totally different story. I watched both movies and their characters are not even similar except for being monkey warriors. Wukong is rebellious, trouble maker, arrogant and won't follow the monk if not for the headband which hurt him whenever the monk reads mantra. Hanuman on the other hand is all about his loyalty to Rama. Why Journey to the west is so famous is because Wukong's character grow from being so hopeless to become **spoiler**. Ramayana is also very famous but Hanuman is all about the great general of Rama who helped him won his wife back. He has no potential to become an antagonist to begin with.
@@TigerTiger-fx3psthats like saying Quran is just bible but Arab version.
Sun wonkong is based on a "Journey to the west" a chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is regarded as one of the greatest Classic Chinese Novels, and has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia.
Journey to the West has strong roots in Chinese folk religion, Chinese mythology, Chinese Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoist and Buddhist folklore, and the pantheon of Taoist immortals and Buddhist bodhisattvas are still reflective of certain Chinese religious attitudes today, while being the inspiration of many modern manhwa, manhua, manga and anime series. Enduringly popular, the novel is at once a comic adventure story, a humorous satire of Chinese bureaucracy, a source of spiritual insight, and an extended allegory. a literary and religious figure best known as one of the main players in the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West 西遊記
Don't fooking mix Chinese mythology to ur hindu myths which are 2 different things.
So that does it tell? 😶
